Disable folder image preview

Is there a way to prevent a specific folder tile from showing a preview of the images inside it? I have NSFW images inside some subfolders and don't want them visible from the parent folder.

Hi gem0303, thank you for sharing this feedback! I'm the Product Manager on the team responsible for this feature and we really value this feedback.

 

To help inform our thinking around this, would you prefer to be able to turn off the collage of previews on folders in grid view for just one folder, or all of the folders in view?

Honestly, it's not good UX. Can't really tell folders from files. You need a better visual differentiation between those 2. Even OneDrive does it better (that's the only thing they do better! 😆)
